OK, I had to go through the sequence of steps I had on mind.
I had to work it out that colors set under colors directory don't
reflect the iout colors, but are only used for calculating them,
basing on the brightness and max_intensity values.

Effectively, after changing the colors/<color>/intensity the brightness
value will be still valid, since iout color will be recalculated basing
on the currently set brightness and the new color intensity.
